Bare Escentuals: Big Smile

During the most recent sale the Get Happy kit was on sale for $14.50 and even though I now have 3 glee radiances, I just couldn't pass it up. I'm very glad I got the kit. Big Smile is a really pretty pink. When I saw it in the jar it remined me of Cherish but once I compared them side by side they are not that similar. Big Smile is a purple leaning pink and I think that is why I thought it looked like Cherish.

Some girls on BEA were talking about using just the brightening primer with the Gold Mineral veil over it instead of foundation so I decided to give it a try. I just have on the brightening primer, concealer and the GMV. I think it looks okay but I like my skin looks better with foundation.

1970s and an Old Eye Shadow Foe

It is really hard for me to give away or sell BE eye shadows that don't work for me. There really aren't that many but I have come across a few that I just can't seem to make work or that I don't like (pure spice). But I think there is a good reason I am so reluctant to get rid of eye shadows I don't like and the reason is that some time down the road I will give the shadow another try and low and behold I'll like it! This has happened to me a few times and it happended again today with Bordeaux. I used to hate bordeaux because it is so matte and it always made me look weird but I think it looks pretty with BFF. So before you sell or give away an eye shadow you think you don't like just give it one more try.

The first look I'm posting was inspired by last weeks cover of the New Yorker. The cover had a drawing with orange lines over a cranberry purple and I thought it looked nice.
